THE    DALY   SALE. 


%•' 


HIS  IS  A  CATALOGUE  of  some  of  my  purchases  at 
the  recent  sale  of  the  library  of  the  late  Augustin  Daly, 
I     and  also  of  some  books  secured  from  other  sources. 
I  The    Daly  sale    was  a  melancholy    affair.     The 

S  books,  in  the  first  place,  were  wretchedly  catalogued, 
and  the  whole  English  press,  led  by  no  less  an  author- 
ity than  the  Athenaeum,  has  gibed  at  the  printed  de- 
scriptions of  the  volumes.  It  is  not  enough  to  say  the  cata- 
logue was  worthless  to  prospective  buyers,  it  was  absolutely 
misleading.  For  instance,  a  manuscript  of  the  "School  for 
Scandal"  was  described  as  "the  original  manuscript  entirely 
in  the  handwriting  of  Sheridan." 

Before  the  sale  I  advised  at  least  one  customer  not  to 
bid  on  it,  and  congratulated  another,  who  was  the  under- 
bidder,  upon  his  not  becoming  the  purchaser.  Now  the 
Athencvum  says  the  original  manuscript  is  in  the  posses- 
sion of  Mr.  Algernon  Sheridan,  at  Frampton  Court,  England !  A 
collection  of  portraits  of  Shakespeare  (which  I  bought  and  which 
is  described  in  this  list)  was  catalogued  as  lacking  the  first 
issue  of  the  Droeshout  print.  Of  course  this  statement  was 
of  equal  value  with  the  one  about  the  so-called  "Sheridan" 
manuscript.  There  was  no  excuse  for  either  assertion. 
The  offered  copy  of  the  "School  for  Scandal,"  I  have 
^  good  authority  for  saying,  was  probably  written  by  the 
o  prompter  of  the  theatre  at  which  it  was  produced,  and  his 
^  handwriting  bore  about  as  much  resemblance  to  Sheridan's  as 
[j        does  General  Washington's  to  my  own. 

^i  It  is  not  my  intention  or  desire  to  recapitulate  all  the  errors 

n  and  omissions  of  the  catalogue  (my  business  is  to  sell  books)  but 
to  speak  in  a  general  way  of  the  depreciation  of  prices  caused  by 
them  and  the  injudicious  arrangements  made  by  the  firm  to  which 
the  disposal  of  the  books  was  entrusted.  Money  was  de- 
manded of  those  who  desired  to  examine  the  books,  and  no 
matter  how  often  the  private  buyer  wished  to  enter  the 
auction  rooms  previous  to  the  days  of  sale  he  was  compelled 
to  pay  fifty  cents  for  die  privilege.     After  this  sum  had  been 


:fh^_L<

paid,  so  great  was  the  conf usi  les  and  so  carefully 

were  the  more  important  items  secluded  in  a  locked  room,  to 
which  access  was  ouly  to  be  had  by  a  special  written  order 
and  at  certain  hours,  that  only  the  most  persistent  v/ere  en- 
abled to  see  desired  books.  Again,  a  rigorously  exacted  sum  of 
one  dollar  was  required  before  a  catalogue  could  be  had.  On 
top  of  all  this  the  auctioneer  (without  any  legal  right,  by  the 
way,)  was  careful  to  announce  at  each  session  of  the  sale  that 
neither  the  descriptions  in  the  catalogue  nor  the  condition  of 
books  were  guaranteed  and  that  buyers  must  take  goods  as 
they  were,  without  recourse.  When  to  these  conditions  is 
added  the  gross  incivility  of  some  of  the  attendants,  is  it  any 
wonder  that  many  of  the  Daly  books  were  sacrificed?  Private 
buyers  would  not  submit  to  the  treatment  they  received  and, 
to  a  great  extent,  let  the  sale  alone. 

What  was  the  consequence?  Those  dealers  who  recog- 
nized the  probable  effect  of  prevailing  conditions,  and  had  the 
courage  of  their  convictions,  secured  some  startling  bargains. 
In  purchases  for  stock  I  was  the  largest  of  the  buyers  and 
at  present  have  more  of  the  Daly  books  for  sale  than  all  the 
other  booksellers  combined;  in  fact,  the  present  catalogue 
really  offers  the  last  chance  to  secure  any  quantity 
of  the  books  of  the  late  Augustin  Daly.  So  far  as 
the  effect  upon  my  own  pocket,  the  worse  catalogued  the 
books,  and  the  worse  managed  the  sale,  why  so  much  the 
better.  But  even  a  bookseller  takes  some  pride  in  his  profes- 
sion, and  to  see  the  whole  bookselling  fraternity  of  this  city  made 
into  a  laughing  stock  by  the  ignorance  of  a  few  individuals  is 
unpleasant.  To  the  English  critics  I  would  say  that  there  are 
people  in  America  just  as  competent  to  describe  and  sell  a 
library  of  fine  books  as  any  one  in  London,  and  that  the  Daly 
sale  was  managed  by  careless  hands,  (the  cataloguer  an  En- 
glishman, by  the  wayj,  should  not  reflect  upon  the  whole  body 
of  American  booksellers. 

I  have  in  preparation  a  catalogue  of  the  Daly  autographs, 
of  which  portion  of  his  collection  I  was  also  the  largest  buyer, 
and  it  will  be  sent  free  and  postpaid  to  persons  applying  for  it.

Unique  copy,  inlaid  from  ]2nio  to  folio,  and  illustrated  by  the 
insertion  of  nearly  400  portraits,  views,  autograph  letters,  and

graph letters  include  r)S  from  Charles  Lamb,  40  addressed  to  Thomas 
Manning,  and  IS  to  S.  T.  Coleridge.  The  majority  of  these  letters 
are  of  3  and  4  folio  pages  each,  and  they  are,  for  the  greater  part,  the 
originals  of  those  printed  in  the  book.  Other  interesting  letters  of 
M.VRV  L.^.MB,  etc.,  add  to  the  value  of  this  very  important  group.  The 
portraits  include  fine  mezzotints  of  Robert  Burns,  Chaucer,  etc.,  and 
India  proofs  of  Priestley,  Ben  Jonson,  Gibbon,  Amos  Cottle.  Johnson  the 
publisher,  John  Howard  Payne,  Dr.  Donne,  Bunyan,  by  Sharp;  Isaac

MANY  PIECES   OF   GREAT   INTEREST   HAVE   BEEN  OMITTED  BY  THE    EDITOR. 

In  one  letter  to  Coleridge  the  whole  of  a  long  criticism  on  that  author's, 
works  is  omitted,  as  also  the  following  passage  of  deep  personal  interest: 
"  In  truth.  Coleridge.  I  am  perplexed  and  at  times  almost  cast  down — 
I  am  beset  with  perplexities.  The  old  Hag  of  a  wealthy  relation  who  took 
my  aunt  off  our  hands,  in  the  beginning  of  trouble,  has  found  ont  that  she 
is  "  indolent  and  mulish  " — I  quote  her  own  words — and  that  her  attach- 
ment to  us  is  so  strong  that  she  can  never  be  happy  apart — the  ladv,  with 
delicate  irony,  remarks,  that  if  I  am  not  a  Hypocrite  !  I  shall  rejoice  to^ 
receive  her  again,  'and  that  it  will  be  a  means  of  making  me  more  fond  of 
home  to  have  so  dear  a  friend  to  come  home  to  !  ' — the  fact  is,  she  is 
jealous  of  my  aunt's  bestowing  any  kind  recollections  on  us  while  she 
enjoys  the  patronage  of  her  roof.  She  says  she  finds  it  inconsistent  with 
her  own  '  ease  and  tranquility  '  to  keep  her  any  longer,  and  in  fine,  sum- 
mons me  to  fetch  her  home.  Now.  much  as  I  should  rejoice  to  transplant 
the  poor  old  creature  from  the  chilling  air  of  such  patronage,  yet  I  know 
how  straitened  we  are  already,  how  luiable  already  to  answer  any  demand 
which  sickness  or  any  extraordinary  expense  may  make.  I  know  this 
and  all  unused  as  I  am  to  struggle  with  perplexities,  I  am  somewhat  non- 
plused. To  say  no  worse,  this  prevents  us  from  a  thorough  relish  of  what 
Lloyd's  kindness  and  yours  have  furnished  nie  with.  I  thank  you  though, 
from  my  heart,  and  feel  myself  not  quite  alone  in  the  earth." 

Another  letter,  which  is  entirely  uni'ubmshed,  contains  the  follow- 
ing postscript  which  will  be  appreciated  by  all  but  the  "  unco'  gnid." 

"  Vou  direct  jours  to  me  in  Mitre  Coiut;  my  true  address  is  Mitre 
Court  Buildings.  Bv  the  pleasantries  of  fortune,  who  likes  a  joke  or  a 
d.tiblf  entendre  as  well  as  the  best  of  us,  her  children,  there  haj)peiis  to  be 
another  Mr.  Lamb  (that  there  .should  be  two  !  !)  in  Mitre  Court.  His  duns 
and  ijirls  frequently  stumble  up  to  me  and  I  am  obliged  to  .satisfy  both  in 
the  best  way  I  am  able.  Farewell  and  think  upon  it." 
%*  It  is  impossible  to  give  a  full  description  of  these  volumes  but  the  intending 
purchaser  may  be  assured  that  it  is  the  grandest  collection  of  Lamb  letters 
ever  offered  and  that  there  is  no  likelihood  of  anyone  being  able  to  make  a 
collection  of  anything  like  efjual  value  or  interest.

LAMB— Continued. 

The  only  copy  known  in  the  original  binding.     The  following  is 
Mr.  Foote's  note  on  this  extremely  rare  book  : 

In  1827  Lamb  writes  to  Bernard  Barton  :  ' '  One  likes  to  have  one 
copy  of  everything  one  does.  I  neglected  to  keep  one  of 
'  Poetry  for  Children, '  the  joint  production  of  Mary  and 
me,  and  it  is  not  to  be  had  for  love  or  money."  It  was  not 
until  1877  that  a  copy  of  this  First  Edition  came  into  the 
possession  of  a  collector,  of  which  the  following  announcement 
appeai-ed  in  the  London  Athenceutn  of  June  16  of  that  year : 
' '  A  discovery  of  much  literary  interest  has  been  made  in  a 
region  that  would  have  seemed  unlikely  enough  to  yield  such 
a  treasure.  The  long-lost  '  Poetry  for  Children, '  by  Charles 
and  Mary  Lamb,  published  in  two  tiny  volumes  at  Godwin's 
Juvenile  Library  in  1809,  has,  at  last,  been  found  in  South 
Australia. ' '

Wilkie  Collins  endorses  the  use  of  tobacco  in  sickness  and  health.  Dr. 
Darwin  drinks  wine  under  the  advice  of  all  his  doctors,  and  confesses 
that  snuff  affords  him  a  great  stimulus.  Prof.  Edison  accepts  chewing 
tobacco  as  more  beneficial  than  smoking  or  drinking.  Gladst.ne,  writ- 
ing through  his  secretary,  detests  smoking,  but  drinks  about  four 
glasses  of  claret,  etc.,  per  day.  Oliver  Wendell  Holmes  tolerates,  but 
does  not  advocate  the  use  of  stimulants.  Ruskin  abhors  the  use  of 
tobacco  as  tending  to  idleness  and  spitting.  Mark  Twain  smokes  at 
least  three  hundred  cigars  a  month,  and  finds  two  glasses  of  champagne 
an  admirable  stimulant  to  the  tongue.  Perhaps  the  most  luminous 
letter  in  the  group  comes  from  Hubert  Howe  Bancroft.  He  writes: 
"vSome  constitutions  are  benefited  by  a  moderate  use  of  tobacco  and 
alcohol;  others  are  not."  Folio,  half  blue  levant  morocco  extra,  gilt
